No, but you pay for those by tapping a card on the pump or going into the shop. The suggestion here was some sort of magic communication between the car and charger, which would require either the car to be a payment instrument itself (obvious security issues) or for either the car vendor or car owner to have contracts with a whole bunch of providers.
Hi, I'm another member of the team and worked on the development of our static analysis algorithms.

Happy to answer any questions.
An RGB triple does not describe a color unambiguously: it depends on the device used to display it. Devices have different red, green and blue light sources.

I know it sounds like nitpicking, but we are talking about subtle differences in shades of beige, after all.

An LCD display will have a white backlight, with some distribution of wavelengths, and each pixel has filters that pass a certain band of wavelengths (one band each for red, one for green, one blue). Different LCDs will use different backlights, with different filters. An OLED will have a three kinds of emitters, each with its own distribution of wavelengths. CRTs used to have three kind of phosphors that glowed with their own characteristic colors.

Now, if you could give us the CIE XYZ coordinates of the color, or the CIELAB coordinates, that would be very helpful. They are device-independent.
It's weird that Microsoft didn't use any timestamping for the NuGet package. This wouldn't have been a direct issue then.

It's really frustrating.

With me (Dad) working from home and my kids remote learning for school I'm the primary home contact for school things, assignments, etc, but the school staff often reach for mom's email address alone more often than mine despite my requests.

I took my younger son to the clinic while he was sick and I would describe the situation (he has some respiratory issues that complicate typical colds and etc) and often the nurse would look at me and ask "What does mom think?"
It is a business decision. Deliver a feature faster to 99.9 percent people as opposed to later for 100 percent. Neither is right in all scenarios which makes the whole argument pointless without specific scenario. There's a slider you can move with support percentage and time efforts required to make it happen. It is about balancing trade offs. Taking one fixed stance will just make you inflexible.
Oh, yep, I should have caveated that as "lying about a company isn't generally a crime IN DEVELOPED DEMOCRACIES". Some countries do still have in-use criminal libel laws, and the story is different there.
All mobile chips Intel/AMD/Qualcomm Snapdragon/Apple M1 have that functionality available.

They all have GPU and Video Encoders on board.

If any of them have the performance to support the games, refresh rates and resolutions needed for VR is really the question. Especially for extended durations without hitting thermal throttling etc. Although that can come down to enclosure etc.
This seems reasonable to me. Like, if you only have to get along with 120 people, it seems like a problem that an arbitrary person has a pretty good chance of solving. Then everyone else can be the "other".

However, I wonder if the simplest strategy that works when you have to get along with everyone is that you have to become an noisy asshole that overreacts to real "enemies" over imagined slights.

The modern JavaScript/TypeScript is so amazing and probably the best language I have used.

The article also quotes the researcher explicitly denying the BBC’s headline suggesting causation.

I downvoted all the popular comments here which were ready to agree with the causation despite the research making no comment on that at all: the complete lack of critical thinking is why this gets to be the chosen headline. Pure clickbait.
Plywood is often stronger than solid wood, but most importantly it doesn’t bend when drying or in moist environments if it’s properly cross-laminated. However, cheap IKEA furniture is often laminated fibre, which is basically compressed sawdust. It’s an entirely different material.
The problem is, people do misunderstand it, especially more artistic photographers, who are not as engineering minded as people here. Many actually think it is some kind of lens distortion, comparable to radial distortion or some kind of artifact or noise caused by the lens doing some lens magic. But the same effect persists with a pinhole camera too, the lens is a red herring. Not technically but fundamentally.
The ballots may have more votes, but they aren't more complicated: they're lists of choices next to which a person makes a mark indicating a preference. The "complexity" there is still not a technology problem, it's a people and process problem.

> One in three girls was unhappy with their personal appearance by the age of 14, compared with one in seven at the end of primary school.

That comparison doesn't support the hypothesis. It should have been compared to teenagers from 10 years ago. Otherwise, you can't rule out the effect of growing up on the mental health if these girls.
I found that the movement you talk about is more about putting your faith in the "scientist" as opposed to the actual "science".

It seems much easier to find scientists who will tow your political viewpoint and then people can use them as a resource to prove that unless you take this person's "expertise" as gospel, then it proves you are a science "denier".
Depends on the state. And even depends where in the state.

Yes. Just asking about work life balance always tends to get boilerplate answers ("Of course we do!"). This is a great way to get that same info without making them produce those selling point ones.
How is this in any way like college? I agree that people should read the contracts, but if I quit college, I'm not on the hook for anything more than I've already paid. And you know what you're getting into when you get a loan, so I fail to see how this $36K quitting fee is like college...
I don't think markets and mental health are quite as intimately related. I think it's more to do with living in an individualistic society where we have less of a social net to fall back on. And I mean 'social' as in a close-knit community, nothing political.

People should really read the research [1] and not this article as the article doesn't actually capture the scope and real impact of the research.

The executive summary highlights:

* Personal wellbeing drops, on average, as children move from primary into secondary school, and continues to drop as children move through secondary school.

* We find a graded relationship between family income and all three outcomes through adolescence: young people’s mental and emotional health scores are worse the lower down their family is on the income scale

*Engaging in physical activity was found to be more important for boys’ mental and emotional health in early adolescence than girls’, with a graded relationship between frequency of exercise and scores on all three outcomes for 14-year-old boys; at age 17, we find a graded relationship with frequency of exercise in both girls and boys. Heavy social media use is associated with worse scores on all outcomes in girls age 14 and 17, but only worse well being for boys at age 14.

Absolutely, I wonder when/if not wearing masks will be totally normal again. How will it affect the next generation?

My daughter isn't much older than this pandemic, and she's been used to seeing people with face masks on her whole life; one of her first words is "mask". She's had to struggle her way through her first year not being able to use all of the usual visual cues we are used to seeing in peoples faces, but has done so without a hiccup that I can see, it's just normal to her.

For one, the calls look like they’re still overpriced relative to the puts. So manufacturing calls via put-call parity would be a starting point. (Spot checked the puts—they seem to break even under 100 per share out to November, so not much juice left there.)

It’s also only the leveraged funds burning out. And they don’t only own GameStop shorts. So money will be made bailing them out and cramming down their existing LPs.

This kind of a pyramidesque system almost guarantees that the most pain will be felt in the reversion to the mean, not flexion from it.

> Social media damages everyone's mental health it seems.

Does it? I've been using social media extensively for almost 30 years now (and now building social platforms for nearly a decade), and a lot of the biggest opportunities I've gotten in my life/career have come from social media. Whatever anxiety it can cause on a day-to-day basis, I feel like you more than make back in various benefits over the long term.
In Belgium, state-controlled planned economy is called "Communism".

"Socialism" is all social security etc. So I actually agree with the parent comment.

Well, I believe that the biggest problem is that there are very little incentives in doing that. Everybody (your university, the Government, the funding agencies...) rushes you to publish as many papers as possible, get zillions of citations, and boost your h-index; however, they do not give a damn about the reproducibility of the results you are publishing.
This is my experience. I disconnected from social media, and my social life immediately died. Friends only communicate with each other through Facebook, so I'm really only staying in regular contact with my very closest friends anymore. Most of it I don't miss, because social media has also reduced the quality of communication to the level of gossip, but what I do miss out on is any sort of invitations to social gatherings.

It also eliminates opportunities to make new friends. It's surprisingly difficult to find a knitting group in my area that doesn't organize using Facebook Groups, for example.

It frankly worries me. In the past, we worried about monopolies on things like oil and diamonds. I'm not sure our culture has the tools to cope with a monopoly on participation in society.
It would be cool if there was a BLE -> inter webs gateway that could be ran on something like a rpi or other very low cost common hardware.

The problem with two way data binding is it assumes a function call is free. Two way data binding breaks when a function call is many orders of magnitude slower, like over the web. You end up with classic ASP.NET.
In my experience this is not the case at daycare. The form is very gender neutral, has a primary contact and a "partner". I did the signup and I'm usually the one dropping our daughter off and picking her up, since I work closer to daycare so ended up being the primary contact. Yet still they 9 out of 10 times call my girlfriend. Very impractical, since most cases they want you to come and pick up your kid because she is sick and I work close by while my girlfriend is 2+ hours away.
Indeed. I always find it strange when people are shocked by bullying in schools or teenagers being jerks to each other. Didn't everyone witness that? Every single person at my high school could tell you who was bullied.
Let's say I'm working on a project and am blocked by technical issues that I don't understand. What do I do next?

What is the channel for client feedback to reach the dev team? Can you give me an example of how this has worked in the past?

If I'm working on a feature and discover technical debt that will make it more difficult to implement, how do I decide whether to focus on that debt or the feature? Can you give an example?

The reason interviewers like to ask for examples is that it's easy to bullshit when speaking abstractly, but people are less likely to lie to your face. Use that to your advantage

Think isn't too much new stuff, lot's of people have been saying it years regarding the bailouts. What stuck out for me was the quote about Zombie companies. I've heard it mention before but seemingly 19%(!!!) of all listed companies are now zombie companies. Is this true? Is it because of Covid-19 this year or was it always this bad? How can this go on?

For instance, Sharma wrote in July in a Wall Street Journal essay [0] titled “The Rescues Ruining Capitalism,” that easy money and increasingly generous bailouts fuel the rise of monopolies and keep “alive heavily indebted ‘zombie’ firms, at the expense of start-ups, which drive innovation.” And all of that is contributing to lower productivity, which means slower economic growth and “a shrinking of the pie for everyone.”

[...]

In the 1980s, “only 2 percent of publicly traded companies in the U.S. were considered ‘zombies,’ a term used by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for companies that, over the previous three years, had not earned enough profit to make even the interest payments on their debt,” Sharma wrote. “The zombie minority started to grow rapidly in the early 2000s, and by the eve of the pandemic, accounted for 19 percent [1] of U.S.-listed companies.” It’s happening in Europe, China and Japan, too.

It's not "social" and it's not "media". I see those as online platforms which encourage you to build a curated, time-trackable version of your identity, where hyper-expression and outward individualism is the tool. Eventually, what happens is a clash of values between these shallow identities, which is as social as military conflict can be.

Easy example: Some entities are exempt from taxes, because they are not there to enrich individuals, but to profit a higher cause. Like Amnesty International. I think it is great that we exempt AI from paying taxes. Now it might be very difficult to write legislation that precisely encodes the difference between AI and McDonalds. After all, McDonalds funds children hospitals! If McDonalds tries to avoid taxes by trying to look like a NGO, the LEAST we can to is to be outraged and punish them as customers - because the only solution for the legislator might be to make AI pay taxes as well.

My wife gave birth to our child this past year in Palo Alto. While at the hospital, my wife and I noticed that no questions at all were addressed to me (the husband), particularly questions that I could have answered while she was in pain during delivery.

Afterward, we were provided with a form to fill out for the birth certificate, which required a parental signature. I filled the form out and returned it to the office, at which point I noticed that the clerk changed the signature to state my wife's name when inputting it into the system.

Later in the day, a social worker came by and began to ask questions about my income (when I told her I worked for one of the large tech companies, she immediately left and stopped questioning me). She independently took my wife aside to ask questions, and my wife later told me that she did not ask about her income, but did ask to make sure she was not being abused, a question I was never asked.

All in all, we felt it was a very poor experience (not to mention multiple mistakes were made during delivery because the anesthesiologist was distracted by the television), and we were surprised by the degree of sexism in what we thought was one of the more progressive cities in the U.S.

There are practical problems. Does no internet also mean no network connection? Getting two devices to talk to each other without a network is not straightforward. Bluetooth can do it but has range limitations. Wifi can do it to, but there you have to get into very hardware-specific wizardry to move packets between devices without a network router. The target devices, cellphones, are designed to provide network access, to login to a backbone of other devices, not to generate and manage the network themselves.

Then there is the issue of encryption. Verifying keys is tricky without a common network. How does one revoke or renew a key? It is possible but complicated. Not something that a messaging app would normally attempt.
